“Extremely Difficult”: ‘Empathetic’ JJ Watt Backs Baker Mayfield as Bucs QB Outperforms Himself Against the Eagles

Baker Mayfield is winning hearts in the Tampa stands and in the locker room as well. It was his star performance & leadership that led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into the playoffs. As he and his squad are now facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the wildcard round on Monday, new stats of Mayfield are catching the attention of former NFL player, JJ Watt.

The fourth quarter is going on in the game, and the Bucs are ahead of last year’s runner-up team with 25-9. This score gap is mostly created by Tampa’s quarterback, Mayfield at Raymond James Stadium. And JJ Watt is just loving it, praising the QB for his excellence in “extremely difficult situations.”

During the crucial NFL wildcard round between the Bucs and the Eagles, Baker Mayfield has been showing his prowess right from the start of the game. According to a reporter, Greg Auman, about an hour ago, Mayfield had already reached “151 passing yards halfway through the second quarter, despite some drops. He finished with 146 in the first game vs. Eagles.”

Mayfield is putting up a strong competition against the rivals, demonstrating his excellence on the field. But the interesting part of his greatness is recently noted by JJ Watt, who tweeted, “8 Head Coaches in 6 years for Baker Mayfield is crazy. Extremely difficult for anyone to be successful with that kind of turnover/inconsistency in leadership, scheme and coaching philosophies.”

Yet, he has been beating the odds in all situations, coming out victorious more than ever. Mayfield’s journey serves as proof of his determination and enduring impact on the field. And he has been experiencing a thoroughly successful season this time around.

Baker Mayfield has the stats speaking of his excellence

The Bucs linebacker, Devin White, once said that Baker Mayfield is “a guy that wants to win, and he has something to prove.” In this season, Mayfield has done exactly the same. From pulling up his team to get to the playoffs to catching attention with his stats, Mayfield is doing what the Bucs expected from him in a staggering manner.

In this season, Mayfield has achieved the highest records in his NFL career. In his first starting season with the Bucs, he gained 4044 yards for 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. In his last season with the Rams, he only made 850 yards in 5 games, and before that, while with the Browns, he never exceeded 3900 yards in his seven-year career.
